OBJECTIVE: Several chronic diseases have been hypothesized to affect the risk of subsequent gynecologic malignancies, possibly through shared hormonal mechanisms. METHODS: Using record linkage techniques, we assessed the relationships betw…

Although several risk factors are common to endometriosis and breast cancer, the results of observational studies of an association have so far been inconsistent. We evaluated the relationship between endometriosis and breast cancer on the …
